The story behind the Red Guitar really interests me because I can relate. I can see Kris buying his wife a red guitar and it ending up on the wall as a decoration. Being a musician, Kris one day took the red guitar off the wall, tuned it, and wrote this song. He brought life back to the red guitar which is exactly what a musician does to his musical instrument. Without musicians, every instrument is a Red Guitar.
Once I brought back to life an old piano that someone had tossed in their barn. Like Kris, i brought it out of storage, tuned it, and brought it back to life again.
